"Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" "How 'bout now?" Ever go on a trip where someone is impatient and continues to badger those around them with questions about how quickly we're arriving? It's annoying, yet this is how most modern web applications work! Stop the insanity and learn how you can use XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), the same protocol behind Google Wave, in your applications today.
